How to manage Centralized Approver Lists:

- The View/Edit option will allow you to perform the following actions
- Add a new approver(s) to the existing centralized approver list. You can also add approvers in bulk.
- Update the name/title or email address (if someone else is taking over their role)
- Delete the approver if it no longer needs to approver submissions
How to manage User Details…
- User Role: Check one or more user roles depending on their role in the district. You can read more about user roles here.
- Deactivate Account: Deactivate that person's account. That person will no longer be able to log into Informed K12. If you deactivate an account and need to reactivate it later, you can contact our support team.
- Send Activation Email: If someone's account status is Invited then you can re-send them an account activation email. An Invited status indicates they have not yet activated or logged into their account.
- Send Account Invite: You can also invite staff to create an account if you are viewing a user without an account.
Alternatively, you can invite users from the top of the people page, and click on the Invite user button. You will then be able to type the email(s).
As a reminder, most people who only need to fill out or approve forms don't need an account. In addition, when someone is given Form Manager or other access to a form on the Permissions page, an account is automatically created for them if they don't already have one.
Note: If you need to update a user's email address, please send your request to support@informedk12.com
Manage Centralized Approver Lists…
- From the People Admin console click Centralized Approver Lists
- Click Add new list
- Add the Name of your list and an optional description
- Next, you will be able to upload a CSV of users.
Your CSV must be uploaded in a particular format, that includes:
-
- Email address
- Name/Title of the approver. EX: Director, Student Services.
-
We recommend that you use titles or roles that will be familiar to users submitting who may not know the individual approving the form.
If you Need Help, you can click the Download the example CSV link to help you get started
-
- Once your CSV is prepared, you will click Choose File > select your file > Open/Confirm
- Click Create List. Form creators will now be able to follow these steps to utilize the Centralized Approver list on their new forms.
